Explanation of Responses:
1. Shares delivered in connection with the cashless exercise of 9,375 options, previously granted pursuant to the issuer's stock option plan, at an exercise price of $6.40, as reported herein.
2. The shares of common stock reported herein represent restricted stock units issued under the issuer's equity incentive plan in consideration of the reporting person's services to the issuer granted on March 2, 2016, subject to the issuer's satisfaction of certain performance criteria for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, and further subject to continued employment through the vesting date. Certain of the performance criteria for 2016 were met, resulting in the vesting of 7,100 restricted stock units.
